England captain Alastair Cook says he expects a revived India in Thursday's final Test in Nagpur after the hosts' heavy losses in the last two matches.

England won by 10 and seven wickets respectively in
Mumbai
and
Kolkata
to lead 2-1 and move within sight of a first series win in India since 1985.

"There is every chance it might galvanise them so complacency is not going to be in our camp," said Cook.

"I am sure they will be coming out fighting in these next few days."

Successive home defeats have led to calls for India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and record Test run-maker Sachin Tendulkar, who average 18.4 and 22 each so far in the series, to be dropped.
